Note: If you install parts from the LINEAR CAD Browser, the associated short text can be included in the calculation of the quantity takeoff if you add the LIN_SHORT_DESCRIPTION parameter as an attribute for the short text (if necessary, as a replacement for the part name).

Defaults: Resets the parameters for the selected partial service to the default values.
